Did you know?
Dennis Miller Bunker was a significant American Impressionist who had a profound influence on his contemporary, John Singer Sargent. Painted during his final years in Medfield, this work captures the delicate interplay of light and shadow characteristic of the Tonalist-leaning Impressionism he practiced. Tragically, Bunker's career was cut short when he died of heart failure at the age of only 29.
